MILK MANIPULATION.
Methods OF Cooling and Scaltiing Pra
ticed by French Dairymen.

Methods OF Cooling and Scalding Prac-
ticed by French Dairymen.
The milk supply for large cities and
towns is never satisfactory unless the
producers cool the milk as soon as
possible after it is drawn. To have the
best milk or butter the animal heat
must be gotten ont of the milk speedily,
and with it the peculiar animal odor
which accompanies new milk.
This is accomplished by setting the
can in ice water or in the coolest spring
water attainable. On the same prin-
ciple are the various styles of creamers,
which, with constant supply of ice
water during warm weather, accom-
plish the object desired.
Bearing upon this subject, the Vir-
ginia Commissioner of Agriculture has
recently published some facts relating
to the process of scalded milk as made
use of by the milk dealers of Paris,
France. Contrivances for this purpose
have been carried to high perfection in
France, and their management is
worthy the consideration of our own
milkmen.
The cooling process, effected as soon
as possible after milking, is indispensa-
able first of all, and then rs further
safeguard the milk is scalded. The
spelling or decomposition of milk is
due to certain living organisms which
constitute ferments in the liquid, and
the operation Of scalding is designed to
paralyze the evolution of these organ
isms, and thus to prevent the alteration
due to their action. .,I...
The mornings milk having to remain
about twelve hours in the milk room
before being mixed with that of the
evening, the French milkmen subject
it to double operation, which consists
first. in placing it for short time in
hot water baths in such manner as to
carry the temperature to about 2O7 de-
grees. Second, to cool it Immediately
afterward as fast as possible, and to
keep it ut low temperature.
There are various sorts Of apparatus
in use in carrying out the object, but it
can be done simply and cheaply any
where. At least the scalding process
is easy. All that is necessary is to
have large boiler in which water is
heated. and trough placed so that
boiling water can be let in through a
faucet. The cans of milk are placed in
the trough and the hot water allowed
to flow around them. OF course the
temperature Of the water will be re-
duced somewhat by the cool metal and
milk, but the effort should be to heat
the milk to little below boiling point
say 200 degrees to POI degrees. 1t
should remain here but few minutes
and then be cooled down as quickly as
possible. Y. Herald.

How to Make Them tho Most Profitabl.
Creatures on the Farm.

Creatures ON the Farm.
A young pig will produce more live
weight from given weight of food
adapted to its use than any other
domestic quadruped, and consequently
he Is II profitable creature to have on the
farm. To be sure. his meat is not al
ways rs highly valued as the flesh of
sheep and cattle, but it is more uniform
in quality, and averages we'll with tho
flesh of other animals. He will live on
choice food or garbage, as occasion may
require, and will thrive on food that no
other animal could use with safety He
will Ave and flourish under adversitics
to which other animals would succumb,
while he will respond more promptly
and efficiently to good and generous
treatment than amy other tenant of the
farm. On account Of his ability to stand
abuse, he is pretty apt to get more than
his share of it, and to be neglected, but
IL pays to look after his comfort and
study his necessities. 1t does not follow
because he can live and thrive on what
other animals can not, that there is no
necessity for being particular about
what no shall eat or how he shall fare.

BETTER THAN CORK.
Buoyancy OF Life-Saving Apparatus Mad
of Reindeer Hair.


A Norwegian engineer, Herr w. G.
Moller, of Drammen, Norway, having
had his attention drawn to the extreme
buoyancy of reindeer hair, has sue
ceeded in constructing various articles
OF this material for saving life at sea,
with which some interesting expert
ments We're recently made. The first
life-saving object tried was one which
can be used on board ship rs u chair.
bedstead or COUCH but which in case of
need may be converted into small
boat. This apparatus was found capa-
BILE of supporting three full grown men
in the water, although only intended to
bear two. Another object tried was a
suit made entirely of reindeer hair. and
covering the entire body except the
face, and in which man tloated on the
water without having to make tho
slightest movement. 1t was found per-
fectly impossible to dive in the dress.
The third object tried was a door-mat
made of reindeer-hair. and this sup
ported man easily, although he was
dressed in full outdoor clothing. On
comparing life-belts made of reindeer
hair with similar ones of cork. it was
found that the former was much lighter
than the latter, II very important ad-
vantage to an exhausted drowning per-
son when he has to put it on in tho
water. Herr Moller's assertion that
reindeer-hair is capable of supporting q
weight ten times its own was fully
borne out by these experiments. It
should be pointed out that jackets.
belts. etc. made of reindecr-hair arc
soft and pliable, and that they impart
good deal of warmth. Iron.

How the Village Pastor Brings LOVING
Youths and Maids Together.
The preacher is invariably resorted
to, both by young men and maidens,
rs the matrimonial agent. A young
man comes to the missionary house
and says to him: II want to marry."
"Whom?" asks the missionary.
"Have you any one in mind?"

viii! not have me. Iwant you to speak
to her."
Have you not spoken for yourself?''
"Many times, but she always says
No."
"That is nothing" says the pastor;
"you know the way of maidens. Does
she like you?"
ut is difficult to find out. She will
tell you."
The pastor accordingly sends for the
girl. who comes willingly enough,
knowing what the message means.
"Well, my daughter" he observes,
"it is time you should think of mar
riage."
III never mean to marry" is the in
variable and conventional answer
"That is II pity says the minister,
''because l have a good husband for
thee."
''Who is hep" she asks.
The missionary then tells her his
name-although she knows it us well
as he does-and launches out into the
lovers praise. He is strong, good
looking, kindly; he caught two fine
whales when his companions took none,
or whatever else can be said to his re-
pute. After the catalogue of his merits
has been recited, the girl replies:
but l think him good-for-noth-
ing"
"Ah. WELL" says tho missionary,
"thou art not wise. There is no lad
can fling harpoon MS he can.

He then wishes the girl q good day,
affecting to believe that tho Interview
is over. But she il sure to linger, and
after II blush and sigh she whispers,

this point she virtually hands over the

lad; that she would not have come II
she had not thought of accepting hin,

on which tho bride has emphatically
protested that she will never have the
bridegroom. .-Aanchestsr Courier.

EPIDEMIC OF HYsTERlA.
Tho Curious Convulsionist Mania Prevail

The Curious COnvulsiOnlst Mania Prevail.
ing In an italian Province.
A curious outbreak of convulsionist
mania, analogous to those which oc-
Cured from time to time during tho
Middle Ages, has shown itself ut Agosta,
in the province of Rome.
For some weeks past the country
people have been laboring under the
delusion that the district is under tho
immediate government of the evil one,
and before retiring to rest they care
fully place on the threshold the broom
and the salt. which are credited with
the power of keeping off evil spirits.
Many Of the younger women have epi-
leptiform attacks, during which they
utter piercing shrieks and are violently
convulsed. So serious had the condi-
tion of things become that the Syndic
of Agosta found it necessary to inform
the Prefect, who sent detachments of
soldiers into tho district in order to
calm the apprehensions of the inhab-
itants.
AS natural consequence of this
condition of mental perturbation the
country is overrun with quacks, who
claim to possess tho only infalliblo
remedy for the seizures. One of these
nostrums, the vender of which was
making II rich harvest from its sale. was
found on analysis to consist of earth,
snuff and borax. Three medical men
who were commissioned to investigate
the cause and nature OF this extra
ordinary affection came to the conclu-
sion that it was an epidemic of hysteria.
They examined IL number of the suf-
ferers, mostly young women, some Of
whom We're alleged to have vomited
nails, horseshoes and other equally in
digestible substances, while others
barked like dogs. Several Of them
were removed TO Rome for treatment in
the hospitals there. and measures have
been taken to check tho spread of tho
mischief
In q milder degree this contagious
form of hysteria is not infrequent,
especially in places where ignorance
and superstition favor manifestations
Of nervous disorder. The worst OK
cesses Of popular outbreaks, like the
vrench revolution, have been attributed
to similar influences, and with every
appearance Of justice. British Medical

made an inquiry as to the cost Of
sustaining the royal family, and the
figures in this connection will be inter-
esting. particularly rs the subject will
soon become political issue, with
more acrimony than ever before.
IL costs England nearly $4,000, 900 n
year to sustain the palaces reserved for
the exclusive use of the Queen and her
family. and nearly an equal amount to
sustain the royal pleasure grounds; the
Queens Guards cost S2,500,00O, and
the royal yachts 81, 800. 600. u total an
nual expenditure of $4,000, 900 or so
for the protection and pleasure of the
royal family. In addition to this the
Queen is allowed E560,0O0, or S2,S0O,-

this was the amount in 1886. She has

performed. which was also charged to
the people. This covers her Majesty 5
expenses for the year.
Then the Prince of Wales had an al
lowance of els. 40, the Duke of Edin-

We're uttered the member of the firm
who heard them is prone to believe
that the young mans idea of 'doing
something" is an outright gift of a
thousand dollars in lump, or the
purchase of q partnership in an estab-

the knowledge of the writer, has never
done one months actual work for
others in his entire life. His life has
been passed in the pleasant pastimes of
tho home circle, in reading, study,
hunting, fishing, ball-playing, yachting
and other employments not particularly
beneficial to others. He is type of
that class of boys whose parents are
sufficiently well-to-do to keep servants
to attend the household drudgery, and
whose fathers follow vocations in which
no use can be made of the boys spare

looks upon his board and clothes for
twenty years, together with his pony,
